Von Miller, LB – Denver Broncos 2011 NFL Draft Pick Interview

Von Miller, The Denver Broncos 2011 NFL Draft Pick at linebacker, looks more like a professor than a football player. So if Von Miller does live up to his lofty potential, his nickname should be “Dr. Linebacker.”

After he was selected as the second pick in the 2011 NFL Draft First Round, Miller said he was so busy, he’d felt like “a machine.” But Miller, the 6-1, 243-pound standout defender from Texas A&M, played like a hitting machine in college, so it’s not surprising to here that coming from him.

While some, like Clark Judge at CBS Sports, have said there’s no obvious “best pick” from this year’s NFL Draft, others would counter that Miller is the exception to that rule. He was never once placed out of the top five or ten in anyone’s draft list, and now he’s the second pick in the draft.

Miller’s looking forward to the “honor” of working with Broncos Linebacker Elvis Duberville, and being a Denver Bronco, even though he was at Dallas Cowboys fan. He says he’s a team player who will do everything it takes to win.

To Oakland Raiders fans, who have to see Miller twice each NFL season, he says “I’m sorry.”
